Bump and the Soul Stompers - I Can Remember 7" (Numero)

$6.99

"At the core of Kansas City’s vibrant classic-era soul scene was no
record label or studio, but America’s Best Attractions, run by booking
agent Allen Bell. America’s Best, and the exceedingly above-board Bell,
kept countless local acts road- weary and comfortably paid. Bump &
the Soul Stompers, led by Jerald “Bump” Scott, was among several
Bell-related acts that bounced through enviable careers without ever
having to enter a recording studio. Even so, “Bump” Scott did lead his
band into one of the region’s best-known facilities: Damon Studios
(deeded to Victor Damon, inventor of the spring reverb, and not to be
confused with big band great Vic Damone). Bump and company’s first
single, had ever been released, “I Can Remember” momentarily recalls The
Delfonics’ “Do You Remember” before flipping its melody the other way
around. On the B-side, “Standing On The Outside” makes further appeals
to the lowrider set, brake- pedaling the tempo a notch or two." - NUMERO GROUP
